$12 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! 😊 My name is Camille and I graduated from Indiana University in December with a degree in Youth Development/pre med. I’m currently working in Chicago with Stryker in the medical field, and I’m looking for babysitting opportunities in the area! I have a strong background working with kids of all ages. I’ve coached youth tennis, held mentorship and leadership roles in college organizations, and have hands-on experience in healthcare settings, including working with pediatric patients. I’m CPR certified and also completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training, so I love keeping kids active, engaged, and having fun in a positive environment. I come from a big, family-oriented background and have lots of experience caring for younger siblings, cousins, and family friends. I’m responsible, energetic, and genuinely love building relationships with kids while making sure they feel safe and supported. I’m available for babysitting, date nights, after-school care, and can also help with light meal prep or homework. Feel free to message me if you’re interested or have any questions; I’d love to connect! 💛

Booked by 1 family in Carmel, IN

Hi my preferred name is Remus. I’m an 18-year-old high school senior with years of hands-on caregiving experience. I’ve spent much of my teen years helping care for my family, and at gatherings I’m often the go-to babysitter, keeping kids safe, entertained, and engaged. I’m also very helpful with elder adults, assisting with daily tasks and providing companionship. I’m reliable when it comes to cleaning, organizing, and maintaining a tidy home. I have a genuine love for animals and am comfortable caring for pets as well. I’m patient, responsible, and dedicated to creating a safe, positive environment for everyone.

My kids absolutely loved Remus!
